• interaction.disposition.value-business-attribute -- A character string that specifies the name of the Business Attribute that contains the Attribute Values that are used as an enumerated value for a disposition code. This option can be overridden by a routing strategy.

Dial Plan: Prefix Management

The Dial Plan feature enables you to define the rules that Interaction Workspace applies to the dialed digits. The rules enable Interaction Workspace to transform the digits that it receives into the actual digits that are used to make the call. Interaction Workspace receives digits from chat and SMS interactions when an agent uses the click-to-dial feature. The Dial Plan Call Flow feature is applied to the following events:

• TMakeCall
• TInitiateTransfer
• TInitiateConference
• TSingleStepTransfer
• TMuteTransfer
• TSingleStepConference
• TSingleStepConference

Pattern Matching

The table plan pattern matching values Dial plan pattern matching values provides the list of special characters that you can use to define dialed number patterns to be matched.

Dial plan pattern matching values

Special Character	Pattern Matching
X	Matches any single digit from 0-9.
Z	Matches any single digit from 1-9.
N	Matches any single digit from 2-9.
[...]	Matches any one of the digits that are found in the square brackets. For example, using the special characters [12345], Interaction Workspace can match any of the digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
[a-b]	The hyphen inside square brackets acts as a range indicator. Matches any one digit that falls in a range of digits. For example, [125-8] matches any of the digits 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8.

The following are some examples of the use of special characters to match the patterns for dialed number Pattern Matching:

• 9NXXXXXXXXX -- Matches any 11-digit number that begins with 9, where the second digit is between 2 and 9.
• 9[54]10XXXXXX -- Matches any 11-digit number that begins with either 9510 or 9410.
• [45]XXX -- Matches any 4-digit number that begins with either 4 or 5.

Digit Translation

After the number to be dialed is matched to the pattern that is defined in the dial-plan rule, Interaction Workspace uses the digits parameter to determine which number to use to make the call. These digits can be any alphanumeric string. The string must be terminated with a semicolon. This parameter can also use the {DIGITS} variable, which provides flexibility in defining the digits to be dialed. {DIGITS} Variable: The digits variable in the dial-plan rule must take one of the following formats:

• ${DIGITS}
• ${DIGITS:x}
• ${DIGITS:x:y}

Where:

• DIGITS defines the actual digits dialed from the endpoint.
• X defines the starting position of the variable, identified by the character position in the digit string. The value 0 represents the first character in the string (starting from the left). This value can be negative, which indicates a character position that starts from the right instead of left. For example, -1 indicates the right-most character. The default value is 0.
• Y specifies the number of characters to be included, starting from the position that is defined by X. By default, all characters in the string are included.

For example, if the number 96501235678 is dialed, here are some examples of how the {DIGITS} translate:

• ${DIGITS} translates to 96501235678.
• ${DIGITS:1} translates to 6501235678.
• ${DIGITS:-4:4} translates to 5678.
• ${DIGITS:0:4} translates to 9650.

You must configure a Dial-Plan Rule in the dial-plan-rule-<name> option that uses the following format: pattern => digit translation \# comment For example:

• 5XXX=>4351707${DIGITS} # This rule matches any 4-digit number starting with 5 and translates it to the number 43517075XXX
• 5002=>43517075002 # This rule matches the dialed number 5002 and translates it to the number 43517075002

Outbound Campaign Interactions

Interaction Workspace supports the following campaign types:

• Preview -- Contacts are retrieved manually by the agent and dialed manually by the agent. These are low volume/high value campaigns, in which campaign calls are made by using a preset calling list for a specific campaign.
• Push Preview -- Contacts are retrieved automatically by the campaign, but the agent dials the call manually. These are low volume/high value value campaigns, in which campaign calls are made by using a preset calling list. Agents are provided with a preview of the call, and then can either have the opportunity to accept it, or to reject it and return it to the top of the queue or discard the record.
• Progressive -- Contacts are retrieved and dialed automatically by the campaign. These are low volume/high value campaigns, in which outbound calls are directed to the agent desktop.
• Predictive -- Contacts are retrieved and dialed automatically by the campaign. These are high volume/low value campaigns, in which outbound calls are directed to the agent desktop.
• Active Switching Matrix (ASM) -- Contacts are retrieved and dialed automatically by the campaign, like Progressive and Predictive, but the agent is connected immediately to the contact.

Interaction Workspace employs the following Outbound privileges for all outbound campaign voice interactions:

• Can Use -- Enables access to the Outbound Campaign functions
• Can Cancel Record -- Enables agents to decline a preview record so that it is not processed during the current campaign.
• Can Dial Alternative Chained Record -- Enables agents to dial a number from the preview record chain that is different from the number selected by the system.
• Can Edit Record Data -- Enables agents to edit the outbound record fields that are configured as editable.
• Can Get Next Preview Record -- Enables agents to request a new preview record while terminating the processing of the previous record.
• Can Mark Do Not Call -- Enables agents to mark a contact as Do Not Call.
• Can Reject Record -- Enables agents to decline a preview record and redirect it back to the queue to be processed by another agent in the campaign.
• Can Reschedule -- Enables agents to reschedule an outbound record for callback at a different date and/or time.
• Can Reschedule On New Number -- Enables agents to reschedule an outbound record using a new number. This action results in a new record being added to the chain.
• Can Set Call Result -- Enables agents to set a call result for the outbound record.
• Can Set Interaction Disposition -- Enables agent to set a disposition code for Outbound interactions.

Interaction Workspace also enables privileges for Outbound Push Preview campaigns interactions:

• Can Use Push Preview -- Enables agents to actively participate in Outbound Push Preview campaigns.

To ensure that this feature behaves correctly in Interaction Workspace, you must configure the send_attribute key-value pair as specified in the Outbound Reference Guide. For example, where the Outbound Referece Guide recommends that you set the field name to GSW_UNTIL or GSW_FROM, consider setting those values to GSW_UNTIL or GSW_FROM only. To set an alternative display name in the agent facing interface, you can use the display-name key-value as described in the following table:

Configuration of the interaction-workspace section in the objects of type ‘Field’ in Genesys Administrator

Option	Valid Values	Default Value	Description
display-type	bool, enum	(none)	Defines the type of the outbound field to be displayed on Interaction-Workspace side. If set to enum, the outbound field possible values will be displayed in a combo box. In this case, the list of possible values is defined in the enum.business-attribute option. If set to bool, the outbound field value will be displayed as a checkbox. enum and bool display types are taken into account only if the outbound field data type is char or varchar. If this option is not set, the outbound field is displayed either as a string, or as an integer, or as a Date, or as a float, according to the outbound field data type.
read-only	true, false	true (for system fields), false (for user-defined fields)	Specifies whether this outbound field can be modified
display-name	any string	(none)	Defines the name that is displayed for this outbound field on Interaction-Workspace side. If this option is not set, the outbound field is displayed using the send_attribute value.
display	true, false	true	Defines if the outbound field is displayed or not on Interaction-Workspace side. This option is used in addition to the creation of the send_attribute. If the send_attribute is defined, use this option to hide the outbound field.
bool.true-value	any string	true	Defines the string that corresponds to 'true'. Used only if display_type is set to bool
bool.false-value	any string	false	Defines the string that corresponds to 'false'. Used only if display_type is set to bool
enum.business-attribute	(link to business attributes)	(none)	Link to business attributes that define the enum value. Used only if display_type is set to enum. By default the items are sorted alphabetically in this list. To move some or all of these fields to the top of the list, you can use the order option. Create this option in the annex of the Business Attribute object that contains the list of values: Section: interaction-workspace Option: order Default value: "" Valid values: A comma-separated list of Business Attribute Value names.
int.min-value	integer	0	Minimum value accepted. Used only if the outbound field data type is int
int.max-value	integer	2147483647	Maximum value accepted. Used only if the outbound field data type is int
float.min-value	float	0	Minimum value accepted. Used only if the outbound field data type is float
float.max-value	float	3.40282347E+38	Maximum value accepted. Used only if the outbound field data type is float

Next, you must configure the send_attribute key-value pair as specified in the Outbound Reference Guide for the calling list. To set an alternative display name in the agent facing interface, you can use the outbound.fields.order key-value as described in the following table:

Configuration of the interaction-workspace section in the objects of type ‘Calling List’ in Genesys Administrator

Option	Valid Values	Default Value	Description
outbound.fields.order	A comma-separated list of Outbound fields, identified by the value of the key send_attribute that is configured in section OCServer or default in the annex of the Field object.	""	Defines the order in which the outbound fields are sorted in the outbound data area. The fields that are not listed in this option are listed after the sorted fields, retaining their default sorting as specified by OCS.

You use the following options in the interaction-workspace section to configure voice interactions:

• outbound.record-information.frame-color -- Specifies the color of the border of the Case Data view frame. This option can be overridden by a routing strategy.
• outbound.record-information.header-foreground-color -- Specifies the color of the foreground of the Case Data view header. This option can be overridden by a routing strategy.
• outbound.call-result-values -- Specifies the list of call results that are available for the agent to use for an outbound interaction. The call results are displayed in the order in which they appear in the list. For example: Answered,NoAnswer,AnsweringMachine,Busy,WrongNumber
• outbound.push-preview.auto-answer -- Specifies whether a push-preview outbound interaction is automatically accepted and joined when an Interaction Server Invite event is received. This option can be overridden by a routing strategy.
• outbound.push-preview.use-combined-channel -- Specifies whether the outbound push-preview channel is combined with the voice channel.
• display-format.interaction-outbound-pull-preview-name -- Defines the display format of outbound pull-preview (preview) interactions by specifying a string of field codes.

For environments where Internet proxies require user authentication, the following options have been added to the template:

• webproxy.address--Specifies the the web proxy address.
• webproxy.username--Specifies the the web proxy username.
• webproxy.password--Specifies the the web proxy password.

Signatures

Interaction Workspace enables you to assign default signature templates to outbound e-mail interactions. E-mail signatures allow the insertion of tagged-data fields with data that is related to the agent, such as name, job title, department, phone number, e-mail address, and so on. Refer to "Using UCS Data in Standard Responses: System Variables" in the "Genesys Knowledge Management: Basics" chapter of the eServices User's Guide for more information about the tagged data field. Signatures also support linked image(s) and hyperlinks. Use the email.signature configuration option in the interaction-workspace section to specify the path and name of the signature file or the location of the Response in the Standard Response Library that is to be used as the default signature.

Note: This option can be overridden by a routing strategy based on the attached data of the interaction.

Inbound E-Mail Forward to External Resource

Interaction Workspace enables agents to forward active inbound e-mail interactions to an external resource by selecting a valid e-mail address in Team Communicator, either by manually entering the address or by selecting it from a searched Contact or a Corporate or Personal Favorite. Depending on the Business Process that you are using, the agent who has forwarded an e-mail interaction to an external resource might retain the ownership of the interaction and be responsible for closing the interaction A set of key-value pairs that include the destination e-mail address and other information is added to the inbound e-mail before it is placed in the Forward queue so that they can be used in a Business Process:

• GD_ExternalAgentAddress--The e-mail address destination. This is added only if the general.gad.attached-data option is set to true.
• GD_OriginalAgentEmployeeId--The Empoyee Id of the agent. This is added only if the general.gad.attached-data option is set to true.
• GD_TransferrerUserName--The UserName of the agent. This is added only if the general.gad.attached-data option is set to true.
• IW_ExternalAgentAddress--The e-mail address destination.
• IW_OriginalAgentEmployeeId--The Empoyee Id of the agent.
• IW_TransferrerUserName--The UserName of the agent.
• IW_EmailNotepad--The current notepad text of the e-mail view.

Refer to EServices e-mail workflow samples for more information about forwarding e-mail interactions to external resources. The following task controls the use of the forwarding feature:

• Can Forward E-Mail to External Resource

Use the email.forward-queue configuration option in the interaction-workspace section to specify the Interaction Queue in which the inbound e-mail is placed when an agent forwards it to an external resource. Use the keyboard.shortcut.interaction.email.forward configuration option in the interaction-workspace section to specify the shortcut that forwards an active inbound e-mail.

E-Mail Can Mark Done Privilege

The Can Mark Done privilege controls how e-mails are marked as done. When this privilege is allowed, the Done button is displayed in the toolbar when an inbound e-mail is presented. If an agent clicks Done, the inbound e-mail is terminated (removed from the Business Process). It will then not be possible to submit any corresponding outbound reply from the interaction view. It can only be reopened from the Contact History. When this privilege is not allowed, the Done button is not displayed in the toolbar when an inbound e-mail is displayed. The agent must handle the e-mail by replying to it, transferring it, or placing it in a workbin.

E-Mail Interaction History

An agent can take ownership of e-mail interactions that are in-progress if you grant the permissions that are listed in the table Agent Privileges that Control E-Mail Interaction History Functionality lists the privileges that can be used to enable the Interaction History for agents. The E-mail Interaction History feature displays the status of the interaction to agents by using the detailed status information that is provided by Interaction Server. The in-progress status of an e-mail enables agents to find and process inbound e-mail interactions that are in a queue but are not assigned, or are in the process of being routed. The in-progress status can also be used to restrict which agents can handle an in-progress interaction.

Agent Privileges that Control E-Mail Interaction History Functionality

Privilege	Agent Functionality
Workbin - Can Use	Agents can open any e-mail that is present in the agent's personal workbins or in shared workbins to which the agent has access from the Workbin view.

Customer Case

The concept of a Customer Case enables the grouping of all the information about the active interactions of all types for a single customer in one location. The Customer Case facilities enable agents to store all information about the following actions in one location, as well as:

• Handle two voice calls simultaneously.
• Toggle between two calls.
• Transfer/conference one or all interaction(s).

Evolution and Behavior of Attached Data or Case Data

Attached data that is relevant to a call evolves and changes as a call progresses through the system in a contact center. For example, during a Transfer or Conference, information about who transferred a call and when, is attached to the case data. Not all agents in the chain will see the same case data. This information can be retrieved through the contact database by agent that have the following privileges assigned:

• Can Use Contact History CaseData
• Can Use Contact My History

Editing Case Information

You can configure Interaction Workspace to have the ability to edit the case and interaction information that is attached to an interaction. You can specify which key/value pairs are editable by an agent by adding a new section called interaction-workspace to the attribute in Genesys Administrator, and then defining its properties. When you define the properties of an attribute in a Business Attribute, you can also specify whether it has the property readonly or not. Attributes that are not readonly can be edited by agents that have the Can Use Contact History CaseData privilege configured. An agent can only edit case information key/value pairs of those attributes that are displayed to the agent. The table Case Information Editing Case Information lists the case information business-attribute keys that can be configured to be editable. For each attribute, add a new section named interaction-workspace, then define the options according to the type (Boolean, string, integer, list, float, and date) of the attribute.

To move some or all of the fields to the top of the list, use the order option. This option must be created in the annex of the Business Attribute object that contains the list of values: Section: interaction-workspace Option: Order Default value: "" Valid values: A comma-separated list of Business Attribute Value names.
float	display-type	float	float (for this type)
	read-only	true, false	true	Specifies whether this key name can be modified
	float.min-value	float	0	Minimum value accepted
	float.max-value	float	3.40282347E+38	Maximum value accepted

	read-only	true, false	true	Specifies whether this key name can be modified

Displaying Active URLs in Case Information

You can configure Interaction Workpace to render some key-values as clickable hyperlinks in the Case Information area and also enable previewing of web pages by tooltip on the clickable hyperlinks. Use the following configuration options to control the way that hyperlinks are displayed, whether they are active or not, and to enable the display of a tooltip that displays a preview of the web page.

• expression.url--The option is configured by default to display most valid URLs as clickable hyperlinks.
• interaction.case-data.enable-url-preview--If this option is set to true, the tooltip-preview of linked web pages is enabled.

To control the display of hyperlinks in the Case Information area, format the attached data:

• If the attached data contains a raw URL, the hyperlink will be displayed as a raw URL (for example, http://<your web site>).
• If the attached data is formatted in the following way, the TITLE is displayed as a clickable hyperlink, and the target is the URL:
  • <a href="URL" title="TITLE" />
  • <a href="URL">TITLE<a/>

The Business Attribute Value of the key that contains the URL must contain the following key value: [interaction-workspace]/display-type=string

Add Key-Value Pair to the Case Information

You can enable the ability to edit the case information to add Key-Values that are missing from the case information. For example, the country or region contact information might be missing. If the agent obtains this information, the agent can edit the Case Information view to add the data value. Pre-requisites:

• Enable the following privilege to allow editing of case information: Case Information Can Add
• To enable a key to be added, the key must be configured as editable (refer to Editing Case Information).

Workitems

Workitems are custom media types or tasks that are processed by the intelligent Workload Distribution (iWD) solution. iWD is an application that works with the Genesys Customer Interaction Management (CIM) Platform to distribute tasks to the resources that are best suited to handle them. It is a collection of software components for:

• Capturing tasks from various enterprise work sources.
• Applying business rules to classify, prioritize, and reprioritize the tasks.
• Routing the tasks to agents or knowledge workers in the enterprise.
• Monitoring and reporting on the intraday and historical status of the tasks and the task handling.

Refer to the intelligent Workload Distribution 8.0 Deployment Guide for more information. You must define workitems in Configuration Server (refer to Framework 8.0 Genesys Administrator Help and the eServices (Multimedia) 8.0 User's Guide for information about defining Business Attributes (Media Type) in Configuration Server). Interaction Workspace employs the following privileges for all Workitem interactions:

• Can Use WorkItem Channel
• Can One Step Transfer
• Can Set Interaction Disposition

You use the following options in the interaction-workspace section to configure Workitem interactions:

• intercommunication.<workitemchannel>.queue -- Specifies the name of the queue to be used by the Routing Base feature. The following attached data are added by Interaction Workspace:

IW_RoutingBasedOriginalEmployeeId, IW_RoutingBasedTargetId,
IW_RoutingBasedTargetType, IW_RoutingBasedActionType.

• intercommunication.<workitemchannel>.routing-based-targets -- Specifies the list of targets (Agent and/or Queue) that are contacted through the routing-based mechanism, for the requests that are defined in the intercommunication.<workitemchannel>.routing-based-actions option. The AgentGroup and Skill targets are always addressed by routing; therefore, they are not affected by this option.
• intercommunication.<workitemchannel>.routing-based-request -- Specifies the list of routing-based actions (OneStepTransfer) that an agent is allowed to perform.
• login.<workitemchannel>.can-unactivate-channel -- Specifies whether an agent is allowed to select and unselect (activate and deactivate) a workitem channel during login, for example: login.myworkitem.can-unactivate-channel=true
• login.<workitemchannel>.is-auto-ready -- Specifies whether the Workitem channel is in the auto-ready state at agent login.
• openmedia.workitem-channels -- Specifies a list of Workitem channels that an agent can be enabled to use, for example: openmedia.workitem-channels=myworkitem
• <workitemchannel>.auto-answer -- Specifies whether a Workitem interaction is accepted automatically when an Invite event is received from Interaction Server.

Workitem Can Mark Done Privilege

The Can Mark Done privilege controls how workitems are marked as done. When this privilege is allowed, the Done button is displayed in the toolbar when an inbound workitem is presented. If an agent clicks Done, the inbound workitem is terminated (removed from the Business Process). It will then not be possible to submit any corresponding outbound reply from the interaction view. It can only be reopened from the Contact History. When this privilege is not allowed, the Done button is not displayed when an inbound workitem is displayed. The agent must handle the workitem by replying to it, transferring it, or placing it in a workbin.

Interaction Bar

Interaction Workspace supports multiple simultaneous contact interactions. This means that agents can have more than one interaction open and active on their desktop simultaneously. The Interaction bar is a feature of the Main Window that enables agents to track and access all their current interactions. When an agent has an active interaction, the Interaction Summary View is displayed at the bottom of the Main Window. Each interaction is represented by a block in the view. The block contains contact information and interaction type to enable an agent to distinguish one interaction from another. An agent can click a block to activate it and open a set of controls, or to bring the Interaction window to the front of the desktop. Interaction Workspace employs the following privilege for the Interaction bar:

• Interaction Bar - Can Use

Workbins

A workbin is like a shared queue for Agents, Places, Agents Groups, and Places Groups, in which an agent, supervisor, or manager can store e-mail and other multimedia interactions that are to be handled later. However, unlike with a queue, interactions that are stored in a workbin can be accessed in any order; interactions can be assigned to agents, places, agent groups, or place groups. Items that are stored in a workbin are owned by the owner of the workbin. Open interactions can be added to a Workbin to be saved for future processing or collaborative processing by the agent, place, agent group, or place group. Interactions can also be distributed to workbins by Universal Routing Server. For information about configuring Workbins, refer to Universal Routing 8.0 Interaction Routing Designer Help. The desktop-draft-workbin workbin is normally configured by the Multimedia Configuration Wizard. However, you might have to create your workbins. Refer to Framework 8.0 Genesys Administrator Help and the eServices (Multimedia) 8.0 User's Guide for information about defining Scripts in Configuration Server. Interaction Workspace employs the following privileges for all Workbin interactions:

• Can Use Workbins

You can use configuration options in each section that defines a Workbin to configure the behavior of each Workbin in Interaction Workspace (refer to Section: interaction-workspace).

Standard Responses Library

The Standard Responses Library (SRL) enables you to access a database of prewritten standard responses for interactions. Agents can insert these responses as replies into any e-mail, chat message, or instant message, or they can read them to the contact during a voice interaction. Agents can modify the contents of a standard response after inserting it into an e-mail, chat message, or instant message. The following information about the usage of standard responses is provided automatically to the Universal Contact Server by Interaction Workspace:

• 0--The agent received suggested responses on the desktop but chose to ignore them and chose another one from the SRL.
• 2--The agent received suggested responses on the desktop and chose one of them and replied.
• 3--The agent did not receive a suggested response from the content analyzer and chose a standard response from the SRL.

Interaction Workspace employs the following privilege for the Standard Responses Library (SRL):

• Can Use Standard Response Library

You use the following options in the interaction-workspace section to configure the SRL:

• standard-response.default-search-type -- Specifies the default search type that is used to search for text in Standard Response Library. If empty, the default search type AllKeywords is used.
• standard-response.suggested-responses-min-relevancy -- Specifies the minimum level of relevancy above which Suggested Responses will be shown from the Standard Response Library.
• standard-response.categories--Specifies the Standard Response category names to which the agent is restricted. Only standard responses and sub-category trees of the specified categories are displayed to the agent.
• standard-response.languages--Specifies the Standard Response languages to which the agent is restricted. Only standard responses of the specified languages are displayed to the agent. Languages are defined as Business Attributes in the Configuration Layer.

The standard-response.categories and standard-response.languages options can be overridden by a routing strategy. For example:

1. Configure a Transaction object of type list. For example, the object could be named: IW_StandardResponseOverrideOptions.
2. In the interaction-workspace section of the Agent configure the following options:
   • standard-response.languages = French
   • standard-response.categories = Financial Service,HTML,English/Email/Loan
3. To the override options add the name of the key to be used in the Routing Strategy to the interaction-workspace section: interaction.override-option-key = IW_OverrideOptions (default).
4. To the AttachedData in the strategy, add the following object name: IW_OverrideOptions = IW_StandardResponseOverrideOptions

For more information, refer to Modifying a Routing Strategy to Override Interaction Workspace Options, Based on Attached Data.

Spelling Check

The spelling-check feature enables agents to verify the spelling of text that they have entered in an e-mail or chat interaction. The spelling of the contents of an outgoing e-mail or chat interaction is verified against the default language dictionary. The spelling-check feature steps through the text of replies, and underlines in red potentially misspelled words one by one. Agents can replace the underlined word with another word from a list of suggestions, add it to a custom dictionary, or ignore it. The following languages are supported by default: English (US), English (UK), French, German, Spanish, Czech, Russian, Portuguese, and Italian.

Corporate Dictionary

There are two ways to add a corporate dictionary to the spelling-check feature. You can choose to combine these methods in the following execution order:

1. Configure the spellchecker.corporate-dictionary option with a list of comma-separated corporate dictionary words. Words in this list are limited to 7-bit ASCII characters. For words that require a different character set, us the spellchecker.corporate-dictionary-file option. The file can handle any type of encoded characters.
2. Configure the spellchecker.corporate-dictionary-file option with the absolute or relative path to your corporate dictionary text file. Each entry in the file should be on a separate line.
